Updated 2/245/2020. Latest Updates in Light Blue
You do not need to make a reservation to come ski or snowshoe with us. 
​Just come when you can and enjoy your day.

Our goal is to offer you the best skiing experience we can while keeping operations as safe as possible for both visitors and staff. Our plan has been developed in accordance with the CDC, State of Vermont Department of Health, Vermont Ski Areas Association and Cross Country Ski Areas of America guidelines.
The state of Vermont requires all out of state visitors to quarantine prior to visiting Vermont unless you are 2 weeks past your second dose of the COVID vaccine.  For more information on travel requirements please visit the Vermont Dept. of Health travel page : click here
All ski areas are required to collect contact tracing information from their skiers/snowshoers every time they visit.   
When possible, our online form is our preferred method of collecting this information.
